Return Of The Sunshine

The day started out miserably, but I'm happy to report that the sun began to shine a couple of hours ago. I stayed in all day to nurse my cold. I figure if I rest today, tomorrow I can resume my preparations for Christmas. I'm reading "An Irish Country Christmas" which I am enjoying. Later we'll have dinner and perhaps there will be a Christmas story on the TV which we can watch. If not, it's back to my book for the rest of the evening. We've been listening to Christmas music all day. The tree and wreath are lighted as are several electric candles scattered here and there. The pumpkin spice candle is in the candle warmer and we've just finished a cup of "Christmas Eve" tea. We're snug and warm as we watch the faux fire in the fireplace. (I guess you can't have everything)
It's important that I get to the store tomorrow for I've run out of tissues and vitamin C drinks for which I have a great need at this time. Hopefully, the roads will be ice free and I can beat the crowd by getting to the grocery store when it opens at 7:00 a.m. After the shopping is done, I can make the other stops on my list.
Have to remember to take the turkey out of the freezer tomorrow so it'll thaw by Thursday. The beef tenderloin will also need to be defrosted for Christmas Eve.
Until I'm feeling better, tea, lemon and honey are part of my present and future. The juices will give a good dose of Vitamin C which should also help. I'm aiming to be 100% better by Tuesday evening.
